Happy 26th Anniversary

Last night
I felt beautiful.
And so very special.
I felt like a Queen.
It wasn’t because of
What I wore
Because I often
Wear the same clothes.
Or because of
The make-up
I put on..
Because it was
The same as
It almost always is.
It was because
You took the time
To plan such a special night-
At such an amazing place
That neither of us had
Ever been to before.
It was because you
Reserved a time
Just for us.
You opened my door,
You took the lead,
And led the way.
To what has become
One of my
My most favorite dates-
And those
Moments in time
I will never forget!
You made me feel
Beautiful
Just as I am.
26 years after
We said I DO,
And I am grateful
Beyond words.
And you –
You were so
Very handsome.
And sexy.
My King.
Not because of
What you wore.
Because you’ve worn
Those clothes before.
But because of your
Thoughtfulness
And kindness.
And attention to detail.
I felt like the luckiest
Woman in the world
To have you by my side
In such a beautiful,
And romantic place.
Thank you for
Making last night everything
It was.
It felt like magic.
I felt seen.
I felt appreciated.
I felt beautiful.
I felt like your Queen
And you, My King-
Like we were
In the very beginning ..
Of us.
I truly cannot
Thank you enough!

I love you most!🩷

Beautiful Life

BEAUTIFUL LIFE

I am so very grateful
for this beautiful life.
For the brilliant sunsets,
and the early morning sunrise.
For the epic Colorado blue skies,
that transition poetically into night.

For the moon that glows,
the twinkling stars that shine,
and for the afterglow of the moon-
burning brightly into our daytime…

For the storm clouds that rise
to the heavens-
or gently roll through.
For the pitter-patter of rain when it drops-
For all of our life memories,
and my loving thoughts of you.

For the snow when it falls,
and the intricate wonder
of snow flakes.
For snuggling next to you-
when I’m cold.
And waking beside you-
when the light
of the early morning day, breaks.

For the sweet morning bird songs,
that sing of spring and rebirth.
For your comforting hugs
when the sting of this life-
hurts worst.

For the soothing sound-
of your deep voice
that calms, and relaxes my worry.
For the quiet moments spent with you.
When life pauses,
and we let go of the hurry.

For your tender, loving kisses,
and I love you’s.
For our barefoot, mountain wedding,
our custom vows, and I do’s.

For paddleboarding side by side
in the hot summer sun.
For camping, hiking,
night fires, and outdoor family fun.

For jogging alongside me
with our littlest in tow.
I love and adore
every moment with you,
and I love you more
than you’ll ever know.

I am so very grateful-
for this beautiful life.
For all of our family and friends,
our children, and for you-
right by my side.

I love you forever.
I love you for life.
